darkslasherX's Pro Pokemon Tourney!
Round 2 ends on Thursday at 11:59 PM PST!
Remember to actually battle if you have a match this round...
Interested in the Wi-fi League but can't seem to get a team together? Already signed up for the Wi-fi League but need a warm-up before it starts? Not interested in the Wi-fi League at all but still like Pokemon battling? Then this tournament is for you.
Welcome to my first tournament, in which we will be competing to see whose Pokemon team comes out on top. This will be a fairly standard single elimination tournament in the Single battling style. Battles will be held over Wi-Fi with Pokemon automatically scaled to level 100 (or level 50 if both players agree on this). For those not familiar with the standard rules, here they are:
Ubers clause: You may not use any of the Pokemon on this list:
-Mewtwo
-Mew
-Wobbuffet
-Lugia
-Ho-oh
-Latias
-Latios
-Groudon
-Kyogre
-Rayquaza
-Deoxys (Deoxys-S is legal)
-Palkia
-Dialga
-Giratina
-Manaphy
-Darkrai
-Shaymin
-Arceus
Any Pokemon not listed is fair game.
OHKO clause: You cannot use the moves Sheer Cold, Guillotine, Horn Drill, or Fissure. These moves are banned for two reasons: 1. they activate somewhat randomly, and 2. they are overpowered when they end up taking out your Wobbuffet or Cresselia from full health in one hit.
Evasion Clause: You cannot use the moves Double-Team or Minimize. If you've ever had to fight against an opponent that has +6 evasion, you'd know why.
Hax Items Clause: You cannot use the items Quick Claw, Brightpowder, Focus Band, or Lax Incense. The reason is that these items activate somewhat randomly, and a lot of experienced battlers hate losing solely due to random chance.
Sleep Clause: If you put more than one of your opponent's Pokemon to sleep at one time, then you automatically lose. Resting opponents do not count towards this limit. Sleep is a very powerful status ailment in a fast-moving game like Pokemon, so this clause helps limit the overwhelming power of sleep moves. Without this, Choice Scarf Spore Smeargle is pretty ubiquitous.
Species Clause: You cannot have two or more of the same Pokemon on a team. Think about a team of Tyranitar and 5 Garchomps, and how badly it would suck to have to face it.
Self KO Clause: When the last Pokemon on a player's team uses Explosion, Selfdestruct, Destiny Bond, or Perish Song and successfully defeats the opponent's last Pokemon, the user of one of these moves loses. Winning because of spamming Destiny Bond in a pinch really doesn't show much skill, and it's just as easy to spam Destiny Bond earlier in the match, so why not do that?
